Group Pet Eldest Lady, She Just Wants To Be A Salted Fish

Chapter 48 Part 2 一 Having you in Gu family is their blessing.

Father Jiang sneered, “We’re all friends, and it’s normal for friends to help each other wherever they are. You pave the way for my son, and I’ll give face to your daughter in the circle. That’s called mutual assistance.”

Gu Youqian frowned, “I don’t need it, and neither does Ruan Yōu.”

Father Jiang laughed out of anger.

He is not comfortable and doesn’t want Gu Youqian to be comfortable either.

Father Jiang sarcastically asked, “You treat Ruan Yōu so well, isn’t it out of guilt? Jiang Wei was taken away by someone, and I can say that it’s because Bai Fangwei didn’t take good care of him. At most, I am a secondary reason. How much responsibility do you bear for Ruan Yōu being taken away? What were you doing when she was taken away more than a decade ago? Now you’re pretending to be good parents? All the grievances Ruan Yōu suffered in the past twenty years were caused by you. The more you give her, the more it proves your guilty conscience…”

“That’s enough!” Gu Youqian interrupted abruptly.

He had just finished heart surgery and couldn’t bear the anger. He held his slightly throbbing heart and called the butler.

“Arrange a car for Father Jiang to go back.”

“Yes, Mr. Gu.”

Father Jiang maintained a composed smile on his face, took his belongings downstairs, and went home with Jiang Wei.

Before getting in the car, Father Jiang instructed, “Call Yu Chi, I want to see her.”

“Alright, Dad.”

Father Jiang thought about what Gu Youqian said and looked at the sky, sighing deeply.

Indeed, Jiang Wei lacked the qualities of a successor, but so what? All of this should have belonged to him.

He and Jiang Wei were the true family, while Jiang Huai, Gu Youqian, and others were merely outsiders in his life plan. Everything he did was for the betterment of Jiang Wei and himself.

“Jiang Wei,” Father Jiang suddenly spoke up.

Jiang Wei felt annoyed in his heart but put on a playful smile on his face, “What’s up, Dad?”

“We are a family, only us.”

Jiang Wei’s eyes brightened slightly, “Then the Jiang family…”

Father Jiang frowned. He had intended to give his youngest son some assurance and let him experience the warmth of a family. He never expected to hear this response, where Jiang Wei’s immediate reaction would be the Jiang family.

He felt a lump in his heart, unable to recover from it. He turned his head, and Jiang Wei was still waiting for his answer.

“It will only be yours.”

Jiang Wei smiled triumphantly, as all the grievances and embarrassments suffered by Gu Fuchen disappeared completely.

. . . . .

Upstairs, after Father Jiang left, Gu Youqian sat at his desk and took out a small note from the nearby cabinet.

It was the note left by Gu Fuchen and Ruan Yōu when he was in the hospital in Marysue City.

It was the first note Ruan Yōu wrote to him, with a lovely little flower drawn on it.

When Ruan Liuyu came up, Gu Youqian lowered his head and stared at the note in a daze.

“Aren’t you going to show off your pyramid to Old Lu?”

Gu Youqian waved his hand, “Let them go.”

“What happened?”

“Old Jiang had a falling out with me.”

Ruan Liuyu raised an eyebrow, “That’s a good thing.”

“It’s all our fault.” Gu Youqian suddenly looked up, his eyes lifeless and unfocused, unconsciously staring into the distance.

Ruan Liuyu lightly patted his shoulder.

“It’s the traffickers’ fault.”

. . . . .

In the following two days, Gu Youqian no longer got involved in the affairs of the young people. He spent his days guarding the pyramid. Ruan Liuyu knew he was in a bad mood and didn’t disturb him. She busied herself with preparing for Ruan Yōu’s banquet with the butler.

Ruan Yōu showed the documents that Song Wen had given her to Gu Fuchen, emphasizing the failure of the cooperation between Zi Guang Animation and Bozhan Group. Gu Fuchen told her not to worry.

Even if Ruan Yōu dreamed that Zi Guang Animation and Bozhan Group would cooperate to create a bright future for domestic animations, it would only happen through the combination of favorable timing, conditions, and the efforts of all parties involved.

With Zi Guang Animation’s current departure, they couldn’t achieve such results with the company invested in by the Jiang family. Zi Guang Animation had the technology, no doubt, but without Bozhan Group’s market, promotion, and financial support, they couldn’t make a breakthrough.

As for the matters concerning Bozhan Group, Gu Fuchen was discussing with the management team of the subsidiary. They were either considering establishing their own studio or continuing the search. There was no problem that couldn’t be solved.

Seeing her brother so confident, Ruan Yōu breathed a sigh of relief and continued happily with her own affairs.

A few days ago, she bought an island.

Now the final payment had been made, the relevant documents were signed, and the island belonged to her.

Ruan Yōu had two things to do.

First, give the island a name. Second, start her own planning.

The lively live streaming room was filled with curious onlookers and former island owners who were interested in what Fat Cat would do with this island.

Ruan Yōu wasn’t in a hurry to name the island.

She looked at the island photos sent by Xia Shi, focusing on the internal structure and particularly on that celestial-like beautiful gallery.

Gallery, gallery, she was currently lacking a master oil painter.

Ruan Yōu had long ago decided who to find. She woke up early at 8 o’clock in the morning, quickly got ready and went out, bumping into Gu Fuchen who had just started work.

When Gu Fuchen saw Ruan Yōu, he instinctively looked at his wrist to check the time.

一 It’s eight o’clock, he wasn’t late.

Ruan Yōu: “I have something very important to do today.”

“Where are you going to spend money again?” Gu Fuchen asked curiously.

Ruan Yōu: “Do you know Wu Youhua?”

“I know, he’s a master oil painter.” Gu Fuchen walked towards the front of the car, and the driver quickly opened the door for him.

Gu Fuchen didn’t rush to get in the car. He turned his head and asked Ruan Yōu, “What do you want from him? I heard he’s not easy to deal with.”

“It’s a matter of some importance. I’ll see when I get there.”

“There are many other renowned oil painters in the country. If he doesn’t help you, find someone else,” Gu Fuchen wanted to advise further, but Ruan Yōu had already swiftly gotten into the car, rolled down the window, and waved goodbye to him, “Bye bye~”

Ruan Yōu had no intention of finding someone else. She was going after those three words, “Wu Youhua”.

Her task could only be completed by Wu Youhua.

Wu Youhua lived in a relatively remote standalone villa. Wei Wen pressed the doorbell.

Slightly, a solemn question came from the doorbell.

“Who?”

Wei Wen: “Mr. Wu Youhua, hello. We would like to cooperate with you once.”

“Who?” The voice inside asked again.

Wei Wen subconsciously glanced at Ruan Yōu, pondered for a few seconds, and earnestly introduced, “Miss Gu from the Gu family wants to cooperate with you.”

“The Gu family? One of the top wealthy families?”

Wei Wen breathed a sigh of relief.

The fact that the other party knew about the Gu family’s reputation meant that things would go smoothly. Just as she was about to nod and smile, a slightly angry voice came from the doorbell.

“I don’t care about your stinky money. Go away, don’t block the potted plants at my doorstep from getting sunlight.”

Ruan Yōu stood frozen in place, and after regaining her senses, she obediently took three steps back.

Wei Wen comforted her, saying, “Perhaps your views on money are in conflict with his. Young Miss, please don’t be angry.”

Ruan Yōu shook her head, let out a long sigh, and stood at the door, exclaiming:

“Wow~ I finally encountered a problem that money can’t solve.”

Wei Wen: ?

Why does it sound like Young Miss is quite happy?

“Have Young Miss come up with a solution?”

Ruan Yōu shook her head.

The information I read earlier stated that Wu Youhua has eccentric tendencies, and no one can catch his attention except for his students.

But Ruan Yōu needs him.

Wu Youhua has a painting studio with about 20 students, all of whom are carefully selected and individually trained talented individuals. They collaborate as a group once a year to create large-scale oil paintings.

In Ruan Yōu’s plan, Wu Youhua is an indispensable step.

There may be challenges along the way, but Ruan Yōu has also thought about how to deal with them.

According to the information, Wu Youhua has some connection with Elder Qi.

Ruan Yōu was about to call Elder Qi for help when three people approached from a distance.

“It seems to be Elder Qi,” Wei Wen suddenly exclaimed.

Ruan Yōu tilted her head and took a look.

Next to Elder Qi, there was a married couple who looked familiar, but she couldn’t remember where she had seen them before.

“Ruan Yōu?” Elder Qi spotted her from afar and smiled as he asked, “What are you doing here?”

Ruan Yōu smiled and pointed to the closed gate, saying, “I’m looking for Teacher Wu Youhua to collaborate with.”

“Did you ring the doorbell?”

Ruan Yōu nodded like a little chicken pecking at rice.

“Have you been scolded for being rich?”

Ruan Yōu nodded heavily.

Elder Qi smiled kindly and said, “Don’t pay attention to Wu Youhua’s attitude. I’ll take you in later. If you need any help, just let me know. Use the stinky money he doesn’t like to hit him.”

Speaking of this, Elder Qi laughed twice: “You’re good at spending money. I heard that you sent a pyramid made of gold to Gu Youqian. My son and daughter-in-law went to see it yesterday and came back in awe. They said when it comes to spending money, no one can beat you.”

Ruan Yōu:…

“No need to praise me like that.”

Elder Qi definitely spends more money on antiques than she does.

When it comes to being a spendthrift, she can only rank second!

“It’s worth praising,” Elder Qi teased her. “With you here, they have the motivation to make money. Having you in the Gu family is their blessing.”

As Elder Qi spoke, the couple beside him had smiles on their faces.

It was the first time Ruan Yōu had heard such flattering words.

Ruan Yōu still had to maintain some dignity in front of others. She touched her red earrings and quickly changed the subject, “Elder Qi, stop praising me. Let’s talk about business first and take me to Teacher Wu Youhua’s house~”

“No problem.”

Elder Qi took a step forward, and the couple beside him suddenly realized something. They looked at Ruan Yōu with a hint of surprise in their eyes.

“I recognized you, Fat Cat, right?”

Ruan Yōu seemed a bit clueless and didn’t know what had happened for a moment.

“Do you remember the time we bought the Seven-Star Plate at the international auction house? Little girl?”

Ruan Yōu suddenly realized and nodded repeatedly.

Last time, she helped Qi Zhiyan buy the Seven-Star Plate overseas, but it was bought by another couple. In order to complete the mission, she ran out of the auction and privately bought the Seven-Star Plate from that couple.

Ruan Yōu smiled and was about to express her gratitude when the couple smiled and said to Elder Qi, “Old Qi, haven’t you been asking us all along who said that if you couldn’t buy the Seven-Star Plate, you would cry and pound your chest with a broken heart, and sob desolately under the covers?”

Ruan Yōu’s smile froze.

“It’s this little girl here. We didn’t lie.”

Elder Qi: ?

The couple turned their gaze towards Elder Qi in a gossipy and enthusiastic manner, “You two seem very familiar. Old Qi, did you really hide under the covers and cry because of the Seven-Star Plate?”

Elder Qi: ? ?

Ruan Yōu forced a smile, facing Elder Qi’s stiff and incredulous face, displaying an “awkward yet polite” smile.

She silently sent a text message to Qi Zhiyan:

【77, come here quickly!!】

Elder Qi’s head was buzzing with pain. He knew he couldn’t damage her reputation, or else it would be bad if it spread outside that the young miss of the Gu family was acting in such a way.

Elder Qi rubbed his temples and trembled as he said, “It was me.”

He… he really did that.

The driver, who had parked the car and hurried over, witnessed this scene with wide eyes, shocked.
